SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 740,090, datedSeptember 29, 1903. Application filed Deee'm'be: 26|-1QOZ. Serial No.136,72 3. No model.) I

To (all whom it'may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE V. COHEN, a citizen of the United States,residing atAllegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State applicationof the curtain to the ring.

of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in CurtainSupport Rings, of which improvement the following is a specification.

This invention relates to'ncw and useful improvements in curtain-supportrings.

".he invention has for its object the provision of a simple andcomparatively inexpensive pole-ring whereby the curtain is supported andeasily and quickly atta h d and detached.

In the accompanying drawings I have by various views illustrated myimproved ring and the manner in which the same is employed in practice,in which drawings- Figurel is an end .view of a curtain-pole in section,showing the ring thereon and the Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.Fig. 3 is a side view of the ringgpartly in section, as it would appearwhen not in use. Fig. 4 is a rear view of said rin Fig. 5. is a verticalsectional view through the ring.

Further referenceto said 'views,collectivel v, for a detaileddescription of the improved ring, thenumeral l designates thecurtainpole, 2 the curtain, and 3 the rin The ring is formed from astrip of sheet metal of concavo-convex form in cross-section, bent atits middle to form a ring, one extremity 4. of said strip beingflattened and provided with an elongated opening 5, while the otherextremity 6 is formed in a reverse conc'avo-convex form in cross sectionfrom that of the body and provided witlrthe small oppositely-extendedbands 7 for securing the curtain-snpporting hook S thereto, said bandsbeing formed into the strip end by slitting the metal laterally andforcing the same into the desired form by means of a suitable punch orpress. The extremities of the ring-strip are bent into an approximatelyparallel position or in line with the ring center, and to the inner sideof the concave-convex extremity at the said bands 7 is firmly solderedthesaid curtain-supporting hook 8, so that the point will projectthrough the elongated opening in the other extremity, saidconcave-convex extremity being also provided upon its outer vexextremity may be dispensed with and the hooks soldered direct thereto.

A curtain-support ring of this character is easily and quickly appliedto the curtain, can be manufactured at nominal cost, and will be foundvery serviceable.

Having thus fully shown and described my invention, what I claim as new,and desire tos'ecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A curtain-supportadapted for use with curtaiu-poles,con1pris in gastrip of metal having an opening in one extremity and bent at its middleinto a ring to engage on the pole both extremities ofsaid stripprojecting from the ring in approximate parallel relation, and a hook onthe imper'wrated extremity to extend through theo -.ing in the otheradapted to pass through and support the curtain.

2. A curtain-support adapted for use with curtain-poles,comprisingastripof metal having an opening in one extremity and bent at its middle intoa ring to engage on the pole both extremities of said strip projectingfrom the ring in approximate parallel relation, and a hook on theimperforated extremity to extend through the opening in the otheradapted to pass through and support the curtain, said ring portion ofthe strip being of concaveconvcx form in cross-section.

3. A curtain-support adapted for use with curtain-poles,comprisingastrip of metal having an opening in' one extremity and bent at itsmiddle portion into a ring to engage 0n the pole both extremities ofsaid strip projecting from the ring portion in approximate parallelrelation, and a. hook on one of said extremities to extend through theopening in the other to support the curtain, said ring portion of saidstrip being of concave-convex form in cross-section and the hookextremity of reve-rse concave-convex form.

i. A curtain support adapted for use with metal having-an opening in oneextremity and bent at its middle into a ring to engage on and slittedkeepers on the other and bent at its middle portion into a ring toengage on the pole both extremities projecting frorn the ring portion inapproximate parallel relation, and a hook secured to the keepers on oneof said extremities to extend into the opening of the other to supportthe curtain, said extremity with the opening therein adapted to yieldand clamp the curtain to said hook.

6. A curtain-support adapted for use with curtain-poles, comprising astrip of spring metal having an openingin one extremity and slittedkeepers on the other and bent at its middle'portion into a ring toengage on" the pole hot'n extremities of said strip projecting fromthering portion in approximate parallel relation, and a hook secured to thekeepers on one of said extremities to extend into the opening in theother to support the curtain, said extremity with the opening thereinadaptedto yieldand clamp the curtain to said hook, said ring beingconcavo: convex in cross-section and the hook-carryiu g extremity ofopposite but like form in crosssection.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed 'my name in the presence oftwo suosoribing'wit-nesses.
